Our friends over at RecycleBank have won a couple of nods from the media community for their cool video "The Cycle." They won the 2009 South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Educational Video and a nomination for a 2009 Webby Award.

Check it out, they even show how airplanes are recycled and a brief on the import/export of recycled goods...very cool!

We'll be watching this to see if something can be done about all of the garbage being sold as the real thing...our own studies have shown that most of the "pomegranate" juice you buy isn't actually pomegranate or at least not the same pomegranates that have been proven medically beneficial.

"Not every brand is as honest as POM Wonderful. Three independent labs tested ten other brands claiming to have 100% pomegranate juice and found that nine out of ten so-called pomegranate juices had added sugar, colorants and other low-grade fruit juices." Link
